Hi. I am (obviously ;) not a big kernel developer (although I aspire
someday) but I've saved up a few thoughts on this thread over the last few
days. For what it's worth:

I really like this (as an option) but one addendum I would like to see is
having it mark all of the dependencies it turns on somehow so that you can
see they are turned on because of something else you turned on rather than
by default.

I'd also like to chime in on the side of remembering that even if we hate
ESR's implementation of CML2, we might want to keep the language spec and
implement our own. So let's encourage him to keep on developing it so we
can steal the good parts, rather than just flamewarring over C vs. python
vs. perl vs. flamewars vs. ... :)
